About The Artist

Based on Seoul, studied Korean traditional painting and art history. My work is about the nature and scenery of South Korea. I make works out of materials such as natural plant dyes and traditional paper and dyed cloth derived from Ancien Korea. The material of my work is hanji paper. Hanji is a traditional handmade species unique to Koreans. Korean paper made by peeling and boiling the paper mulberry tree. It is very durable. I studied the natural dyeing technique of Korea and it is a traditional technique. It developed through Gyubang culture, a Korean women's culture. I am interested in Korean women's culture and want to interpret it in a modern way. My main ingredients are plant dyes extracted from native plants, such as indigofera, madder, soil, gardenia, lacquer, etc.. I cut dyed paper or tear and blend Korean ink. I believe this will be my unique formative language. I think this is the speciality of my work.
